Default Direction of hole in lifter

Which direction does the hole in the side of the lifter face when you place them in the lifter trays? I'm guessing it must go toward the valley side. I'm installing a set of StageII heads and bigger cam as well as putting Comp Rs and drilling the plastic trays at the same time.l

It doesnt matter. Mine were facing both directions from the factory. I did however face them all at the galley just for ***** and grins.

As long as you get the right preload with the Comp R's there is no need to spend money on adjustable rockers. I have been running my R's for a while with the stock rockers, just take the time to set them up right and you'll be fine.
